Comment (by Otto42):

 As is commonplace, I highly disagree with @matt here. 😀

 Categories remain an important part of the blogging experience, and a
 great way to organize content.

 Tags are fine and all, and people may understand it better, but they don't
 use them for things like URLs or other things for which categories are
 frequently used. You could de-prioritize them, but they still need to
 exist and be very visible. Hiding categories is not a good idea.

 Redoing the interface with categories is probably acceptable, considering
 how people use them and how they are not designed correctly in that
 interface. Things like category prioritization and single categories as
 opposed to multiples, these would make things easier from certain
 perspectives.
